Removing a Few Trees

July 11 ~ Several trees around my house needed to go because they were just too big and too close. Additionally, I decided to take out the mini-forest of filbert trees that lined the south border of my property. They provide privacy and shade in summer -- but they were UGLY to look at from inside the house.

This White Pine would double in size if left to grow. It's roots were overwhelming the surrounding flower beds.



Here's a view of the filberts looking to the southwest.



Kunze Farm Landscaping is just down the road from my house. Besides a crew of 6 they brought a chipper to pulverize the massive amount of branches and leaves.



Here's a video of the white pine coming down:


Here's a video of one of the last branches coming down. The guy in the tree was a real acrobat and artist. It made for great entertainment:


There's a lot of light where none was before!
